From AI:

No, the GE Hitachi SMR does not use graphite; however, the GE Hitachi BWRX-300 is a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) that uses low-enriched uranium fuel, similar to other BWRs, while other SMR designs like the Xe-100 and the Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation MMR do use graphite. The BWRX-300 is designed to use the same fuel as existing BWRs, which does not involve graphite.



  • GE Hitachi BWRX-300:
    This SMR is a type of Boiling Water Reactor and does not use graphite. It is designed to use the same low-enriched uranium fuel as many existing BWRs worldwide.



  • Other SMR designs:
    The Xe-100 and Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation's MMR are both examples of SMR designs that do use graphite.

    • The Xe-100 is a High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor that uses graphite-encased pebbles as fuel.

    • The MMR uses hexagonal graphite blocks in its reactor core.
